They're NOT a tight squeeze. Frank's right, this isn't theoretical, I've already been doing it for months with the adapter, but only yesterday did I hard wire two connectors onto my BOLT. I use this setup in my VFC and BOLT M4, both crane stocks fit the batteries fine. Other types of crane stocks, Systema, Echo1, G&G etc generally have bigger battery tubes so it's even easier. This wouldn't really be possible with a G&P crane stock because I'm pretty sure you can't load them from the back. On my setup I do lose the shortest position but with the right buffer tube (the slots cut out for wires) and with neat enough wiring you could accomplish it.
I find that my guns tend to overdraw from these little batteries, which was causing them damage over time. Since I was storing an extra lipo in the other tube anyway I thought "why not both?" I'm only using brand new lipos with this setup, and they will only ever be connected in parallel to ensure they have the same life.
